116 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Certain accessory power plugs may
not be compatible with the accessory
power outlet and could overload
vehicle or adapter fuses. If a problem
is experienced, see your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment, be
sure to follow the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. SeeAdd-On Electrical
Equipment 0235.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from the
power outlet can cause damage not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
The power outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only, such as
cell phone charge cords.
Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in
equipment that exceeds the maximum
20 amps rating.
Power Outlet 110/120-Volt
Alternating Current
If equipped with this power outlet on
the rear of the center console, it can
be used to plug in electrical
equipment that uses a maximum limit
of 150 watts.
An indicator light on the outlet turns
on to show it is in use. The light
comes on when the ignition is on,
equipment requiring less than 150
watts is plugged into the outlet, and
no system fault is detected. The indicator light does not come on
when the ignition is off or if the
equipment is not fully seated into the
outlet.
If equipment is connected using more
than 150 watts or a system fault is
detected, a protection circuit shuts off
the power supply and the indicator
light turns off. To reset the circuit,
unplug the item and plug it back in or
turn the Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) off and then back on. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
0188.
The power restarts when equipment
using 150 watts or less is plugged into
the outlet and a system fault is not
detected.
The power outlet is not designed for
the following and may not work
properly, if this equipment is
plugged in:
. Equipment with high initial peak
wattage, such as
compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools

LIGHTING 159
If after signaling a turn or lane
change, the arrow flashes rapidly or
does not come on, a signal bulb may
be burned out.
Replace any burned out bulbs. If a
bulb is not burned out, check the fuse.
SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers 0265.
Cornering Lamps
If equipped with cornering lamps, they
automatically come on when all of the
following occur:
.
The low-beam headlamps are on.
. The turn signals are activated or
the steering wheel is at a
calibrated angle.
. The vehicle speed is below the
calibrated speed.
Interior Lighting
Instrument Panel
Illumination Control
The brightness of the instrument
panel lighting and steering wheel
controls can be adjusted.
D:Move the thumbwheel up or
down to brighten or dim the lights.
The brightness of the displays
automatically adjusts based on
outdoor lighting. The instrument
panel illumination control will set the
lowest level to which the displays will
automatically be adjusted.
Courtesy Lamps
The courtesy lamps come on when
any door is opened and the dome
lamp is in the DOOR position.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamp is in the overhead
console.
To change the dome lamp settings,
press:
OFF : Turns the lamp off, even when a
door is open.
DOOR : The lamp comes on when a
door is opened.

Electrical System
Electrical System Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit
breakers to protect against an
electrical system overload.
When the current electrical load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker opens and
closes, protecting the circuit until the
current load returns to normal or the
problem is fixed. This greatly reduces
the chance of circuit overload and fire
caused by electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect
power devices in the vehicle.
Replace a bad fuse with a new one of
the identical size and rating.
If there is a problem on the road and
a fuse needs to be replaced, the
same amperage fuse can be borrowed.
Choose some feature of the vehicle
that is not needed to use and replace
it as soon as possible.

VEHICLE CARE 265
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the
lamps to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off. Have the
headlamp wiring checked right away if
the lamps go on and off or remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice, the windshield
wipers will stop until the motor cools
and will then restart.
Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow or ice may cause wiper
linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield
before using the windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an
electrical problem and not snow or
ice, be sure to get it fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuitbreakers. This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by electrical
problems.
{Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are
marked with their ampere rating.
Do not exceed the
specified amperage rating when
replacing fuses and circuit breakers.
Use of an oversized fuse or circuit
breaker can result in a vehicle fire.
You and others could be seriously
injured or killed.
To check a fuse, look at the
silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a
bad fuse with a new one of the
identical size and rating.
Fuses of the same amperage can be
temporarily borrowed from another
fuse location, if a fuse goes out.
Replace the fuse as soon as possible.
Engine Compartment Fuse
Block
To remove the fuse block cover,
squeeze the three retaining clips on
the cover and lift it straight up.
Caution
Spilling liquid on any electrical
component on the vehicle may
damage it. Always keep the covers
on any electrical component.
